Pleased with the fit and finish of the unit, very light weight, and so quiet while running. It meets all our expectations right out of the box. Fired up 2nd pull, and ran my tools easily. Will try it on the boat to see how many items can be powered up. Once again, I am very impressed with how quiet this genset is...quite impressive.

Very reliable. I keep up with the maintenance, follow the instructions and works perfectly as advertised. I connect a refrigerator, fan, lights and a tv with no problems, and is quite; the efficiency button reduces the noise level even more. This is the fourth generator I have bought from westinghouse. This generator meet all my requirements of price, noise, weight, fuel consumption and portability.

My primary purpose in purchasing a generator is to have a relatively quiet power source for my RV's air conditioner system. This generator was recommended by a company that produces a "soft start" product to enable small generators to start the AC compressor. The generator performs as expected. I am delighted to be able to run my AC! It is a bit louder than I anticipated, but nothing I can't live with.

Purchased to power my pop-up camper while camping. The purchase was easy and delivery to store was estimated correctly and prompt. Purchased because of good reviews and the included 3 year warranty. The unit is compact and light weight. I have yet to try it out. Will update when I do.

I bought this item 6 months ago. It ran fine at the time and I use it to run a small air conditioner on my camper. When the a/c is on high, the inverter shows that it is at half power. It runs the air conditioner well and is relatively quiet for a generator, but after about 4 months, it started shutting off for no reason. It will run for about 15 minutes with no problems, but it won't stay running.

This is the second iGen2500 I have purchased. I was hoping one would run the air conditioner on my camp trailer but it wouldn't do it. It apparently will need two of these units. I also purchased the parallel cord. These units run a lot quieter than my old Coleman generator but they are still a bit louder than Honda. For the price difference it is plenty quiet. Has nice features and runs a long time on a tank of gas. We camped for four days at 7000 feet and it ran everything except the air conditioner. Westinghouse makes a high altitude kit that I'm trying to find and will install in both generators because I live at 4000 feet and most use will be above this elevation.

I started out using some 85 octane I had in the garage. The exhaust didn't smell to good and it didn't run very well. I always intended on running 91 octane Ethanol free gas and when I did it ran much better and the exhaust didn't stink like old gas. She likes 91 so that's what I recommend you run.

Received the iGen2500 about a week ago. Setup instructions were clear and simple and took about 5 minutes. Started up first pull. Very quiet, particularly in the Efficiency Mode which drops the idle down to deliver only the power that is needed. I learned quickly that to power high demand equipment, like a compressor, it is best to take it out of Efficiency mode to start it, which makes sense as the surge current takes a few seconds for the generator to ramp up to speed. Otherwise, all my tests of power delivery, volume, etc. are great! Time will tell on longevity.

Recommended by a family member and they were spot on. We bought two, use for camping and love them! Was concerned when the recall occurred. However all fears were erased by the efficient, professional manner exhibited by the Westinghouse people I talked to and the quick repair. This is a wonderful generator. BG

Easily powered my 13500 BTU Dometic Air Conditioner after installing a MicroAir 364 easy-start circuit in the generator's normal mode. Although, the generator would not start the Air Conditioner in the Efficiency mode. The iGen2500 with the MicroAir is a less costly, more convenient, and much lighter solution than paralleling two 2000 watt inverter generators to run the Air Conditioner. The iGen2500 display indicates about 1600 to 1800 watts when the Air Conditioner is running. The generator's Efficiency Mode is relatively quiet at no load; although at full power, the noise is in the 70+ dbA range at 1 meter. The generator's engine has a small misfire or small backfire when running, but the small misfire/backfire does not seem to effect electrical power output. I use non-ethanol premium gas having a minimum 92 octane rating. Also, the generator runs my electric Stihl chainsaw even in the efficiency mode.
